Looking for a super unique houseplant? The Pitcher Plant is truly that, unique. This plant is not only beautiful, it's carnivorous. In fact, it's one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow and is excellent for beginners. Its slender pitchers often grow over two feet tall with heavily ruffled red and white hoods that attract insects. The tall, graceful traps have glowing pink and purple veins and the red is so bright that it almost looks fluorescent.
Ever wonder how a great landscape is born? McDonald Landscape Designer, Tami Eilers, gave us a little insight into the development of one of her recent projects. See what she had to say:
Looking for a real star in the landscape? Make a statement with a Windmill Palm tree. This popular palm grows anywhere and adapts to most climates and soils. Extremely hardy, it has a distinctive 'hairy' texture that grows as a single slender trunk. It will mature into a tall, thin column with a compact crown. Windmills make a great garden or patio tree and are especially ideal near a pool and even in a container.
